China: The Decline And Fall Of Western Civilization

The West has dominated the world politically, militarily and economically for a very long time - the Anglo-sphere for centuries, from Great Britain to the USA. The predictions as to when this would fall have been rife this century, with the economic rise of China - maybe we just passed that tipping point. The biggest story (virtually ignored by Western media) has been China brokering a peace deal between mortal enemies Saudi Arabia and Iran - without a shot being fired. Meanwhile America is doubling down on its big fist military version of influence by creating a reverse iron-curtain in Europe. The difference is stark. With neoliberal economics destroying the consumer base of the West , we don't even have that left - the age of the West is over, the time of the BRIC has come.
